    Women on guns and self defense

    Thanks TexasSIGman. This actually made me laugh out loud, thank you for that. It has to be one of my all time favorite expressions for the morons among us. Oh, and, I couldn't agree with you more. No, the devil is a tool of God. Sarah Brady is just a Tool.

    Navy's New Defense Is Small But Mighty

    Sadly, Mare Island closed its military doors in 1996. The city of Vallejo owns it, as well as US Army, Coast Guard and a private entity. The private entity is trying to make it a residential and commercial mecca. It has been pretty much a ghost town around here for the last few years, but it...

    Navy's New Defense Is Small But Mighty

    Ok finally figured it out. It's the USS Tripoli. She was sold to the Army a few years ago, and will be involved in missle tracking experiments. No more Navy here, this base was decommisioned.

    Navy's New Defense Is Small But Mighty

    Wow 280- I must be wrong. This ship that I assumed was the USS Oriskany isn't near ready to leave the island. It's still full of PCBs, as well as other equipment I think they wouldn't abandon. Even though I see this ship everyday I will have to get a little closer, to find out who she is...

    Navy's New Defense Is Small But Mighty

    Armoredman- I think you're right that riverboat marks the enterance to the museum here on the island. (If it is the boat that is painted like a shark). The only big ship left here is the USS Oriskany, which is scheduled to be sunk of the coast of Florida this month to act as a reef.

    Police open fire on pit bulls that attacked woman

    Sad, sad, sad. I don’t even know why I read this thread. As a dog and cat lover, I find it very disturbing that we are discussing “what round for dogs”. I have to agree with the posters that said blame the owners not the breed. I couldn’t agree more. I had a very large male...

    Situational Awareness

    Well White, welcome! I believe what you are describing is just common sense, and would have to say that I also make those actions a common practice.

    Took my mom to the range.

    kbyrd, Welcome, glad to have you and your Mom here in northern California. I grew up using the range in Concord, CA with my Mom, Dad, and three brothers. There is also an indoor range in Vacaville that is nice. I'd still tell her the four rules are the four rules. Armed Females of America...

    Why are you here?

    I visit The High Road to read and communicate with others who share some of my same interests. Unwilling to bash my native state, there aren't too many of us left in California, and it is nice to know you aren't the only one who believes in self defense.

    Wife/Girlfriend is ANTI! What to do??

    Ruger, Maybe the title should have been SO is an anti...... I have the opposite situation, I'm the conservative "gun nut" in the house and although my boyfriend owns firearms, he has a much more liberal view. It is true that opposites attract, and it can work out, but much of it depends on...

    New Orleans' Government--their real plan

    Cosmoline- I wondered about that as well. I realize now, that Mayor Nagyn was, and is, completely out of his league here. I've been following Interdictor's blog and webcam including pictures on a daily basis. Quite a bit of NO is okay, and inhabitable. To request forced evacs, and "claim"...

    Blog live from New Orleans

    Today they are dealing with fire and smoke. The webcam was up, and showing a burning building up until a few minutes ago. Unfortunately, when I try to reset the cam, I keep getting the "cannot find server" message.

    The Defensive Dog: Should they be fed meat?

    Although generally I would agree with Matt in regard to cooked meat, they are animals and would get it raw in the wild. I have found the best behaved gaurd dogs don't chase cats (it' stupid idea and the smart ones know it) and they will drop what's in their mouth if their owner tells them to...
